Just curious to know if there is anything interesting that stands out to you when it comes to the brackets? Any weird matchups or seedings? What about surprise playoff teams?

Two surprises for me are 4A Washington, which started 0-5, finished 3-7, and gets to host a playoff game, and 4A Nash Central, which started 0-6 and ended up winning their conference with an 4-6 overall record and is also hosting a game.

I think I have to finally admit that Reidsville is geographically in the eastern half of the state, but TW Andrews is slightly in the west, but constantly makes it to the eastern bracket.

Speaking of being on the wrong side, poor 1A East Columbus, a little over 40 miles from the beach, can't seem to stay out of the western bracket, while two teams from the same city of Wilson find themselves on opposite sides of the bracket: Sallie Howard is in the east, while defending eastern and state champ Wilson Prep is in the west. It's possible that both these Wilson schools will end up playing one another for the state championship. What a laugh that would be.

Wild to me that Nash Central and Washington are hosting games. On the 2a side, it’s about what I was expecting. Folks have a hard time, but who you play matters. Another wild one is in the 3a, Jk beat Midway and won the conference but Midway is the 3 and they are the 4.

NGL based on the bracket that Southwest is in, I could see them going on a run potentially. Wilson prep being in the west is wild. I don't envy that trip for robbinsvillie.
